02.07.11 | Yeah I really don't see the point. It's just a big football game. I guess you could say its like the world cup, but just for America. |

02.07.11 | it's like the world cup with more scoring and less running around pointlessly. |

02.07.11 | From what I can gather the players look like they want to win in American football, so the games actually hold some meaning. English footballer's treat games like punctuation between buying ferraris. |

02.07.11 | They look pretty gay to me. They just lie in a pile of guys. Nothing wrong with being homosexual but you all say it's manly. |

02.07.11 | people do in fact work on super bowl sunday and the following monday.
it is a holiday in the sense that everyone knows it's happening and will most likely try to get the day off. |
FishTV
02.07.11 | so americans actually compare it to like christmas? |
bungy
02.07.11 | it's actually more important than Christmas here. You're also right the entire point is to lie in a pile and squeeze each other. |

02.07.11 | I'd say we compare it to any other day we like to get together with friends/family and celebrate with lots of booze.
its an excuse for a party and more of an accepted faux-holiday + football. |

02.07.11 | I like to compare American football to chess. To the untrained eye, it might not make sense, but there is actually a tremendous amount of talent, skill, and strategy involved. |

02.07.11 | No you have to understand the game itself sucks but the adds are sweet an then there is the free day off for everyone that picks the winning team. If you guess the score correctly your family could get a free week at Disneyland. The game alone is just the meat of the sandwich so to speak. |

02.07.11 | yea, i hate how players come off huffin and puffin after 1 play, these guys are suppose to be professional athletes, seems like they should be able to sprint more than 1 play |

02.07.11 | I'm english, and the suprbowl is awesome. american football isn't very hard to get into either. The only problem is that when I wached it last night it went on until 4am. |

02.07.11 | You watch it cause the adds are sweet? |
theacademy
02.07.11 | just because american football players aren't really athletes doesn't mean the sport doesnt shit all over all other sports*
*excludes baseball, where this guy (http://www.landloyalty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/bob-wickman.jpeg) can be an all star
baseball is the greatest thing since oxygen. |
crowing51
02.07.11 | I mean it is kinda manly in the sense of major injuries can happen hell even a few football players died on the field. Shit takes balls.
@Wolfhorde Have you ever been kicked by a professional Soccer player? Did you know that the average soccer players legs can break any bone in your body? Hell they can make the soccer ball break any bone in your body with the power in their legs.
It is pretty sad in general that most athletes makes soo much money to do pretty much nothing. While of course the people that save lives get shit. Just goes to show the main priorities of this country and how much ''entertainment'' is circled around it. |

And secondly, it's about food, sports, tv and friends. What the hell isn't to get about it? |

02.07.11 | There's not much that's enjoyable when you don't understand what's going on. Once you learn how the game works, the history of the game, the players etc., it becomes enjoyable.
This, for us, is absolutely no different than the World Cup is for your country. |

Baseball is Rock'n'Roll
Football is Hip-hop
Basketball is Hip-pop
Hockey is Metal
College Football = country music
soccer = something really gay
girls softball = the opposite of soccer |

kanecooper
02.07.11 | i dont think people run around pointlessly in soccer, that's more you failing to understand the game. also the interest in the game doesn't come down to how high scoring a game it is; a 0-0 can be more exciting than a 9-0.
also not all world cups have vuvuzela's ...that's a south african thing (happens to be part of their culture) ...and just in case you weren't aware not all world cups are held in south africa.
finally i'm a huge soccer fan and even i dont like the world cup. it's pretty boring. english premier league is the best. uefa champions league and the spanish la liga are both really good too. |

02.07.11 | Smoke a super bowl for the Super Bowl and enjoy. (2)
I personally don't enjoy football but every year, SOMEone around me will harass me for the opportunity to use the TV to watch this major event, so i've just learned to smoke a bowl, and then smoke another bowl, and continue the process over and over until the game is finished. And then smoke another bowl. |
Curse.
02.07.11 | I can't make fun of any sport because no matter the sport it takes insane amounts of talent. I worked my ass off in high school football and I spent hours upon hours in the weight room, but when all is said and done I maybe could have played Division III college ball. The people in professional sports are freaks of nature, plain and simple. |
